For me it was about trying to serialize the array to XML. If you would like that it would need a wrapper class like this for movies:

@XmlRootElement(name = "movies")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Movies
{
    @XmlElement(name = "movie")
    private List movies;

    public List getMovies() {
        return movies;
    }

    public void setMovies(List movies) {
        this.movies = movies;
    }
}

This way it can be serialized under the root object.
